The Cycle of the Six Moons by Adelle Yeung @goddessfish @Adelle_Yeung

INTERVIEW

Welcome!!! I'm so pleased to host you today on your tour through the blogosphere with Goddess Fish Promotions!! What would we find under your bed?

A
big box of sewing notions. Boxes of
bookmarks and business cards. A BB
gun. Random decorative knives I’ll never
use. Several bags and slippers. Annotated copies of a book I had written in
high school and passed around to my friends for their feedback. Lots of cat hair.

Describe what it’s like to be an author in three words.

I
feel alive.

Say your publisher has offered to fly you anywhere in the
world to do research on an upcoming book, where would you most likely want to
go?

Scandinavia! I’d love to see the Northern Lights and
experience the cold. It looks so
peaceful out there.

Use no more than two sentences. Why should we read your book?

Follow
a teenage girl carry the burden of protecting the entire universe. Then enjoy the sensation of your heart being
ripped out.

You just won a huge lottery what is the first thing you'll
buy?

A
private jet. And a pilot to go with it,
I guess. I want to travel the world :D

What do you find most rewarding about writing?

All
the daydreams, tears, physical pain hunched at the computer to edit, finally
feels worth it when a reader expresses their love for your book.

ABOUT THE BOOKS

The Cycle of the Six Moons Series

by Adelle
Yeung

GENRE: YA Fantasy

BLURB:

The
Starriest Summer:

Fifteen-year-old
Michelle saves the world on a daily basis…with her trusty video game
controller, of course! Naturally, she jumps at the chance to play an
experimental virtual reality game.

The beautiful fantasy
world of Starrs? Check. The power to mold matter? Check. No reset button? Wait,
she didn’t sign up for this!

Turns out Starrs is
really real, and to make matters worse, Michelle’s interference awakens the
Cycle of the Six Moons, a series of devastating trials that will devour the
universe.

Fighting the
apocalypse was way easier when danger stayed on the other side of the screen,
but Michelle finds a secret weapon in her new-found powers. She uses them to
rescue the crown prince of a powerful magic kingdom from their sworn enemies, a
technologically-advanced cult that strives to eradicate magical blood.

Michelle starts to
fall for Prince Jayse, the only one who believes Michelle to be a savior rather
than a curse. But not even video games could prepare her for what the cult has
in store for them…

An Eclipsing Autumn:

Deciding last minute
to stay in Starrs, Michelle continues her epic adventure as Goddess. After all,
learning how to save the world sure beats a year of pre-calculus. With her
friends by her side, Michelle travels to a city of scholars to learn the lore
of the Cycle of the Six Moons.

At first, the exotic
retreat turns romantic, as Michelle spends her free time exchanging sweet
letters with the crown prince, Jayse. But, during her studies, Michelle learns
something that drastically changes her game plan. Powerful blood must be
spilled to end the Cycle…blood that only runs through her veins and the prince
destined to fall in love with her.

During a celebration
honoring their enlightenment, Michelle and Jayse are whisked off to a rogue
city as trophies of a tournament, where only the strongest can claim a taste of
their blood. Gallant as ever, their guardian, Gediyon, enters to prevent harm
to his friends. Unfortunately for the contestants, the Cycle’s latest trial
prevents everyone from waking from a cursed slumber…

EXCERPT

After a moment, I hear the familiar high pitched clinking of
metal against stone. I try to scream,
“Is someone there?” but it probably can’t be heard from the other side.

I look at Jayse, who’s leaning against the wall, and I
signal to him to do the shouting for me.

He calls out the same thing.
“Is someone there?” He must put
all his air into it because as soon as he’s done, he falls back against the
wall and starts to slide down.

I rush to his side and help him stay on his feet, using my
hand to fan him viciously, hoping it’ll cool him down or help him breathe
easier or whatever. I don’t know if it
does anything.

I sigh with relief and look at Jayse. He’s sweating so much that the blood on his
jaw has already washed away. I wipe the
sweat on his forehead with the back of my hand.

“You want to sit down?” I whisper.

He slides down, then stops himself. The hammering on the other side of the stone
barricade has continued, but another sound is louder, closer. The sound of sharpening blades.

I swallow a lump in my throat and look back down another
hall to the right, the one we’d have taken if the lanterns didn’t lead
here. Something is definitely coming
this way. I light the hall with a steady
stream of fire. Several yards away, the
digger scrapes his scythes against each other.
When the fire reaches him, he sprints forward and I scream.
